ABSTRACT:
In this study, we propose a new line matching and reconstruction methodology for aerial image triplets that are acquired within a
single strip. The newly developed stereo reconstruction approach gives us better line predictions in the third image which in turn
helps to improve the performance of the matching. The redundancy information generated in each stereo match gives us ability to
reduce the number of false matches while preserving high levels of matching completeness. The approach is tested over four test
patches and produced highly promising line matching and reconstruction results.
This contribution was selected in a double blind review process to be published within the Lecture Notes in Computer
Science series (Springer-Verlag, Heidelberg).
